Smash Champion
I was watching poker on TV the other day and noticed that they had a hall of fame.
I then realized that baseball, football, basketball, rock n roll, and various other subjects of importance had their own hall of fame.
Ours is a community that has evolved over the years into one of the largest and unique competitive console gaming communites in existence. And after what we have gone through, I believe we deserve a Hall of Fame, even if it starts as humbly as this.
As for the process of deciding who makes the Hall of Fame. I propose the following:
1. The main criteria for being inducted would be time. I propose that a minimum of 3 years (after the initial major accomplishment/contribution) must go by before a player can be considered.
2. I propose that new inductees be announced once a year. *
3. A large panel should be assembled in order to decide who is inducted *. But the panel should not decide who is nominated.
4. To be nominated, a person must recieve a minimum of 10 nominations from the community in order to then be considered by the panel. * I propose we use a ballot type format to do this.
5. I propose that a maximum of 5 players be inducted each year to keep the title a prestigious one.
6. To ensure that older smashers are not forgotten, a minimum of 2 people who's initial contributions/accomplishments took place a minimum of 4 years ago must be nominated on a ballot. (I feel the number of years should increase once we get more years into our community)
*I feel that these rules need to be discussed before anything can begin. I'm asking for these rules to be scrutinized on a basis of time, size, quality of persons, etc etc. I am putting this in here because I would like to have discussion take place on the process. I'd also like to see if anyone thinks this is a venture we should go into.
